Door Hinges. Wednesday , August 30th , 2017 - 17:58:10 PM

When it comes to cabinet door hinges the right ones depend on the type of door you have. Basically there are three types of doors lipped, overlay and flush. The lipped door is one in which a lip has been cut completely around the door. The overlay door is cut larger than the opening so that its edges rest on the door frame. Flush doors sit inside the frame with their faces flush within it. Each type of door dictates different types of hinges. Pivot hinges, one of the most popular styles, are designed for overlay doors. One hinge is mounted on top the other on the bottom with portions of each screwed into the frame resulting in a concealed hinge.

You should put the first screw in at this point, at the top of the door. Make sure someone is holding up the weight of the door (or keep it on shims) so the weight doesnt pull that screw out. Close the door and make sure it shuts properly. It should be hitting the strike plate evenly. If not, adjust the shim placement until you have even amounts of space all the way around and the door seems to be evenly set. Immediately put a screw in the bottom door hinges. This will make sure you have the door hinges lined up in a manner that will allow the door to open and close correctly.

For gates, you should consider pivot hinges which are best suited to work for heavy duty doors. For kitchen cabinets, you can work with something, clean and dainty. If you dont want your hinges to show, you can go for concealed hinges, pr if you want to leave a mark, you can go for decorative ones. There is so much to choose from. Metals like brass and steel are ideal. You can pick and choose between black, white and chrome to antique brass, copper or even pewter. There are around fourteen finishes to choose from and make your home or office, look custom made. You can start from shiny to dull and antique to smooth polish; a hinge with the perfect finish can sprinkle a dash of elegance to any room and bring the complete look to a culmination point.
